The MidTown Safety Improvement Project calls in part for a reconfiguration of the intersections at E2nd Ave & 15th Street and Florida Road/15th Street/3rd Avenue. The city will host a community meeting on this topic in the fall, but in the meantime, the multimodal division has created a questionnaire to gather additional public input on the project.
Eleven alternatives were analyzed in a traffic study of the area, and staff found that
removal of left turns onto 14th from Main will help improve traffic flow;
a mini-roundabout will improve the intersection at Florida Road/15th Street/3rd Avenue;
E 2nd Ave operating as a Southbound one-way is the best scenario for adjacent intersections.
Staff hopes to move forward with a desired design concept this fall. Construction would be anticipated in 2026, though funding is still needed.
